I just built a new L4, there is no toe in/out on the set-up sheet so I assumed there is zero toe in/out. Am I correct?

I need some advice on setting the gear mesh on this T-Fource. It seems like the bottom of the rear pod is restricting me from moving the motor further to the front of the car. Do I need to shave some already spare material from it? -JB

OD is on his way to my house. We are racing tonight in Ripon at the annual Revo race.

You have to remove material from the T bar or change to a smaller spur to get the desired gear ratio.

It depends on how the car is handling. If you apply some toe in, the car will push a little which might be what you want if the rear of the car does not have enough grip. Or, if you are racing on carpet, you may want a little toe out to make the car turn in harder when entering corners.

Toe in or toe out is only a tuning aid. Use it accordingly.

can't find any place listing them and none of the sister companies using the same foam (CRC, Parma, etc) have anything listed either?

CRC T-Fource or DP Q12

still tossing and undecided about whether to cross to a T-bar. if you still have your red ed. CK. you don't need a 12l4 to get a Q12 set-up and going. just get a t-bar, t-bar pivot parts, t-bar spacers (3 in bag)......you have all the rest. the Q12 uses the CRC adjustable servo mounts, dampner tubes, etc. other than that if you just want a new car, i would get the T-Fource

anyway didn't see you today?

Cory had his CK dialed today i only had 8 feet on him at the end of 8 min. i ran my Q-12 tape edition (CRC parted) tape ed. Shawn ran a silver Q12 (Yok parted). 2 others there today had 12ths.........didn't run

Nope had to work, I'm also at work now (sunday), but I did go by there today to take a look. Also, nope I don't have my red CK. So I need a car period.

I think that I'll get the T-force. Is this car a traditional t-bar car or is the t-bar only used to connect the rear pod to the chassis? I think its the latter as the t-bar is graphite not fiberglass.

Anyone have any opinions on the T-force? JayBee have you run yours yet?

Yeah I ran mine today for a total of a one glitch-riddled, no traction, continous 360-degree spinnin' half-throttled run Weather was nasty today- so there was about 30 of us standing in the rain to wait it out. I tell ya, nothing but good times 3 hours later the rain subsided, the track dried up but it was too late to 'really' set the track up. So we just just set up a huge oval and gave it a go. BUT WAIT!!- JayBee forgot his T-Fource AND radio So I rush home, get back to the track, start charging my packs and it starts to rain Wait it out some more. Batts charged, rain subsides and on the track we go...BTW, there's no grape soda or anything on the track- straight parking lot. To sum up a wasteful day, Spektrum's glitchin', spent a little over $100 and went home. I'll have a report next week. Sorry guys... end rant -JB

Default Rear Ride Height Adjusters and Rear Bulkheads

Hi all

I am having a lot of trouble getting the ride height adjusters to sit cleanly in the bulkheads causing some binding in the bearings/axle.

I ordered up a set of IRS adjusters but was wondering what everyone else has done to fix this besides sanding off the edges.

Thanks

Deep breaths Jaybee and repeat after me....

"IN WITH THE GOOD (breathe in) OUT WITH THE BAD (breath out)"

Do this for 2 minutes then have a bottle of beer.

Repeat this whole thing 12 times and you will be fine.

Jaybee,

Spektrum glitched? I thought that shouldn't happen?
